Creating Organizations
Hosted Exchange Email helps you to organize and manage your users by letting you create organizations in which you can group your users and allow them to collaborate. For example, you might have one organization that consists of the members of your sales force. You may have another organization that consists of all of your Division Managers.
You can create as many organizations as you need, provided you have mailboxes and disk space available for your Hosted Exchange Email account.
To Add an Organization
- On the Hosted Exchange Email Manager Home page, at the top of the Organizations menu click Create Organization.
- On the Organization Settings page, in the Name field, enter a name for the new organization.
- Click Save.
Adding a Domain to Your Organization
Your organization can use multiple domains. If your domain is in a different shopper account than your Hosted Exchange Email account, you will need to modify the DNS settings.
To Add a Domain to Your Organization
- On the left, in the Organizations list, expand the Organization you want to work with and click Domains.
- Click Add Domain and do one of the following:
- Click Add a domain in this account and then select a domain from the drop down list.
